Everyone’s jumping on the low calorie snack bandwagon lately. You can find everything from cookies to hard candies that advertise themselves as “under 100 calories per serving.” That’s all well and good, but if the thing tastes like a tiny bit of cardboard, who cares how many calories it has? Besides, a large celery stalk stuffed with 1 tablespoon of chunky peanut butter comes in at around 100 calories, and I’d rather have that than some wafer thin and rock-hard cookie-thing.

But I do have a weakness for high protein bars. As a matter of fact, I have a waeakness for protiens in general. I’d rather pack down a couple of healthy snack bars in the course of a day and have a hunger-pang free afternoon than try to satisfy myself with something that’s pretending to be something it’s not. Besides, I just feel good about myself when I’m munching on an all natural energy bar, as opposed to a little bag of cookies… Don’t you?
